... can spare some bandwidth and post a Qemu image of Plan 9 (2-3 Gb, cow, r=
aw, whatever, but compress it so I don't eat your bandwidth!) somewhere over=
 the net? I could host it afterwards (provided it is not too big, I only hav=
e 15 GB/month in my VPS) to keep it available for other users.

Yesterday I fighted with qemu and the latest ISO, but to no avail. Hangs on c=
opydist (waited ~20 minutes.) Tried with dma on, dma off, dma on for only CD=
 and dma only for HDD, raw and qcow disk images (yes, I'm persistent. )Nothi=
ng. Nada. Sigh! It was easier to install in my old TravelMate (though no eth=
ernet after doing it, should have checked before so not to be disappointed.)=


I can boot perfectly the 9queen/9worker images recently posted related to th=
e ANTS project, but I'm still too new to Plan9 to understand their need or u=
se, so I'd rather have a normal image to play with (although having a 16mb w=
orking image is impressive, and works great with drawterm)

Thanks in advance,=20
